PREWAR LIONEL 227 SEMI-SCALE 0-6-0 DIE CAST PRR STEAM SWITCHER WITH 2227B BELL RINGING TENDER. LOT DESCRIPTION: As the title says this lot consists of a Prewar Semi-scale Lionel 227, 0-6-0, Die Cast Pennsylvania Railroad steam switcher with the correct matching 2227B Bell ringing Tender that was made in the early 1940s.. The locomotive has a operating headlight and automatic front coupler and the die cast tender has the all metal staple end trucks with coil coupler and it also has the bell ringing feature and a back up light. Both pieces are all original Post War Lionel including all original paint, letters and numbers. DESCRIPTION OF CONDITION: The locomotive and tender are both in collector quality condition. The loco casting is perfect, no breaks, cracks or chips. Both classification lights (often broken off) are perfect as are the front cowcatcher steps. No rust or missing parts, great color, numbers nice and clear, drive rods and wheels all fine as is the front coupler. The tender too looks fine, no cracks, breaks or chips on the shell, lettering nice and sharp, coupler in great shape. Wires to connect the tender to the loco are fine. No real issues here at all, hardly a mark on the set. Again, a really great looking set that IMHO I would rate as in C-7, excellent plus condition but look at the pictures and you be the judge for the pictures are an important part of the description and say more than my words ever can. WORKING CONDITION: I have cleaned, serviced and tested the locomotive and it runs and reverses just fine, a little slow but probably just needs ran (been packed away for the past 50+ years), the headlight works fine, the e-unit cycles fine, the belling ringer works fine and, the tender rear light works too. I usually leave feedback once every 7 to 10 days and only after I have received feedback. LOOK AT THE PICTURES, READ THE DESCRIPTIONS. Leaving negative feedbacks without first trying to resolve the issue is not to neither of our benefits. Ask now, not after you have won the item! As is the case for almost all my auctions this lot is offered to you WITH NO RESERVE! Thanks for looking and good luck.
